Sheep Shank

The Sheep Shank (or sheepshank) is used to shorten a rope that is fastened at both ends.

Instructions

Make an underhand loop and slide it over the blight. Do the same to the other end and pull tight. The sheepshank is a temporary knot but can be made more permanent by adding a second half hitch to each end.

Bowline on a Bight

The bowline on a bight is a rescue knot with two loops to support a person.

Instructions

Start the bowline on a bight by tying a bowline using a loop (bight) instead of a single rope. Make the overhand loop as normal and bring the bight through and around the entire knot and tighten securely before putting weight on it.

Braiding

Carrick Bend

The Carrick bend is a knot used for joining two lines. It is particularly appropriate for very heavy rope or cable that is too large and stiff to easily be formed into other common bends. It will not jam even after carrying a significant load or being soaked with water. The Carrick bend's aesthetically pleasing interwoven and symmetrical shape has also made it popular for decorative purposes.

Cow Hitch

The Cow Hitch is also known as the Lark's Head or Girth Hitch. The Cow Hitch is one of the least secure of the hitches.

The Cow Hitch hitches a rope to a metal ring, pole, or another rope. It is also used in Horsemanship for typing a leather strap to a ring or hitching post. In Small-Boat Sailing, the Cow Hitch is used to secure a lanyard to a shroud or jib sheet to a clew, etc.

Pass the end of the rope around a ring, post, pole, tree, etc. Bring the end over and under the body of the rope (known as the standing part),then back through the loop thus formed. That makes a half hitch. Take the end around the standing part a second time and tie another half hitch but with the two half hitches facing each other. Pull it snug.

Double Sheet Bend

The Double Sheet bend is like a Sheet Bend with an extra wrap. The double sheet bend is stronger than a Square Knot or even a Sheet Bend. It is a good choice for tying two ropes together in wet conditions or with a moving load.

Instructions

Make a loop in one end. The rabbit goes out of the hole, around the tree and back under his path and then back under his path once more.

Double Bowline

The Double Bowline is like a Bowline that wraps around you a second time.
Make a loop (top to you). The rabbit goes out of the hole, goes around you a second time, then back out of the hole a second time, around the tree, and back into the hole.

Figure Eight Loop

The Figure Eight Loop is also known as a Flemish Loop and is functionally the same as a Figure Eight Follow Through. Figure Eight Loop is like a Figure Eight but tied using a loop (bight) instead of a single rope.

Instructions

Figure Eight Loop Using a loop (or bight) instead of a single rope, loop over the top. Loop under. Go down through the hole. Pull tight.

Figure Eight Follow Through: Tie a Figure Eight as you normally would by loop over the top. Loop under. Go down through the hole. Instead of pulling tight, loop back into the knot retracing the path of the Figure Eight. Pull tight.
